Fate of stringy AdS vacua and the weak gravity conjecture
Open accessAbstract
Ooguri and Vafa [arXiv:1610.01533] have recently proposed a stronger version of the weak gravity conjecture (WGC), based on which they concluded that all those nonsupersymmetric AdS vacua that can be embedded within a consistent theory of quantum gravity necessarily develop instabilities. In this paper we further elaborate on this proposal by arguing that the aforementioned instabilities have a perturbative nature and arise from the crucial interplay between the closed and the open string sectors of the theory.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Non-perturbative corrections can generate a potential for the moduli.
“Even in this case, non-perturbative corrections can generate a potential for the moduli.”
From Weak gravity conjecture, multiple point principle and the standard model landscape (2017) · cites this paper as [32]
In “The brane and the flux pictures” (p. 5), the paper says that fluxes induce a potential for geometrical modes and can stabilize moduli. It does not say that non-perturbative corrections generate that potential; searches for that mechanism returned passages about non-perturbative stability and open-string instabilities instead.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
